Where is the occipital lobe located and what function does it serve?

At the back of each hemisphere, controls vision
In the middle region of each hemisphere, responsible for sensory and memory areas
In the front part of each hemisphere, responsible for thinking and creativity areas
On the side of each hemisphere, controls hearing and speech

The correct answer is: At the back of each hemisphere, controls vision

The occipital lobe is located at the back of each hemisphere of the brain. It is primarily responsible for controlling vision. This is because it contains the primary visual cortex, which processes visual information received from the eyes. Therefore, choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D describe the locations and functions of other lobes of the brain. The temporal lobe, found on the side of each hemisphere, is associated with hearing and speech (choice D). The parietal lobe, in the middle region of each hemisphere, is responsible for sensory and memory areas (choice B). The frontal lobe, in the front part of each hemisphere, is linked to thinking and creativity areas (choice C).
